Can I See You Again

My dear Mother

That night, the punishment for the queen was set and written officially in a fancy paper complete with the king's signature.

The king walked towards the mother's residence to ascertain her condition.

The door of the Queen Mother's residence was opened wide to the king. It was seen that the mother was sitting in front of a table containing dishes that she had finished eating. The king looked at the grieving servants, as if to know what had happened.

"The Queen Mother began to eat so much that we didn't know how to stop her, Your Majesty." All the servants were worried.

The king quickly entered, and sat down right in front of him.

At that moment, the Queen Mother continued to shake her body. His nails were dated and bloody. Last night, he was just busy skinning his own nails. The king looked at it with pity.

"Mother?" call the king gentle.

At first the Queen Mother did not look at him at all. Only a dumbstruck with a pale face straight ahead. The king shifted the table containing the dish carefully.

"Mom, are you okay?" the king was worried to see it. He touched his mother's hand and stared at the two balls that had been shedding tears.

"Why are you here?" ask the Queen Mother.

"I ... ."

Uhuk!

Suddenly the Queen Mother coughed. The king immediately embraced it. "Mother ... You're okay, right?" ask the king again.

Uhuk!

The Queen Mother's last cough successfully brought out a lot of blood strewn on the floor and on the king's robe.

The king was surprised to see a lot of blood coming out of his mother's mouth. The king then turned to the dish that the Queen Mother had just eaten. Grab one of those dishes and kiss it. "It's poison. Waiter, call the healer!!"

"Mother, what are you doing?!" the king shouted in disbelief, The Queen Mother has mixed poison into her own dish.

The Queen Mother fell weakly, lying right on the lap of the king. Although it continued to choke with blood, even with reddened eyes that began to weaken, the Queen Mother slowly grabbed the face of the stepson who was very hated it.

"My children ...," said the Queen Mother with a smile.

King weakens. This was the first time the Queen Mother had called out to him in such a manner. The King grabbed the hand of the Queen Mother covered in blood. "Yes, Mom, it's me. It's me, your son."

Uhuk!

The blood did not stop coming out at all. However, he did not seem to be in pain. "Thank you ... thank you, for letting your brother."

The Queen Mother looked very decapitated, the breath was getting heavy to pull in. "I'm sorry .. I'm sorry, I-I. I'm the one who ruined your life."

The king grabbed the mother's hand, hugged and kissed the hand. "Mother, stop. Please don't talk much. Wait for the physician to arrive soon." Sobbing the king cried sadly.

"Servant! Where's doctor?!" the king shouted in fear.

"Hyeon, my son ...," call the queen once more, with eyes beginning to shut. "Yes, Mom?"

The sound of the door being broken down was not even able to disperse everyone's sadness. Prince Hon, who had just arrived, cried sobbing next to his mother. "Mom, hold on Mother. I'm sorry, sorry I never visited you again. Forgive us, forgive us, ma'am." Prince Hon's words made all the cries break even more. The servants were very sad, because the Queen Mother had long awaited the presence of her children. However, they never once came to simply ask the circumstances.

"Don't apologize." Although very weak, the Queen Mother grabbed the cheek of her youngest son. Wiping away the tears of the child. "Live .. live in peace." The Queen Mother held the king's hand tightly. Carrying his body more comfortably in the lap of the king.

"Hyeon ...," call the queen.

"Yes, Mom?" the king answered him.

"Mom's tired, let me sleep on your lap, okay?" the Queen Mother said as she closed her eyes more tightly. His voice had swallowed, not like before. The king nodded, kissing his mother's hand many times.

Until finally,

"Mother?"

"Mother?!"

"Mother!"

The healers who had just arrived were just throwing glances at each other. "Your Majesty, Queen Mother ... The Queen Mother is gone."

"Your Majesty!!!!!" The entire servant chased after the master's body while prostrating. Prince Hon and the king could only sobbing in the corner of the room.

At the same time, the servants gave him a piece of paper that he had once put in. The sobbing king opened the paper slowly. His tears are falling even more.

Your Highness Baek Hyeon, My dear Son.

I don't know what else to say to you, other than an apology for ruining your poor life. I'm sorry, if my actions will one day disappoint. I know you won't punish me, you won't sentence me to death. But because of that, your position as a just king will be in doubt. Although I do not deserve to say it, but my son. Be a just and good king. Stay the real you. Please also apologize from me to my daughter, Shin. He suffered so much all this time.

My hyeon, don't eat a lot of rice cakes. You catch a cold and cough because the cake powder is not very healthy for you. Sorry ... maybe I can't see my granddaughter, but .. be a good father. Love all your children later. I send greetings to your wife. Tell him my apologies.

Greetings of love, Consort Seol.

"My dear Mother, I've never regretted having a mother like you, even though everyone knows how much you hate me." The king looked at the sky which was starting to blow the wind. "Because I believe, sooner or later you'll love me, but it turns out I'm wrong." The king's tears are bigger than ever. "You've loved me for a long time" he added muttering.

At the same time, Prince Yul and Princess Shin who were on separate journeys looked up into the dark night sky. They cried withstanding the pain that had ensnared their feelings. As if knowing what happened, despite being in different places ..they both sat weakly under the rain.

Although the body no longer exists, even though the breath is no longer there, even though everything has turned into nothing, but. His love is still left to be remembered forever.

"Good way, Mother. Goodbye, dear Mother."

Both of them even knew what the heavens had destined.

Mother. One word that can never be separated from life, which sometimes just heard has made tears fall. As bad as anything, as hateful as anything, and as hard as anything to resist. With the screams of falsehood and happiness he showed .. he managed to create great joys for his children who did not even know anything. He managed to hide all the wounds in front of his children, he managed to create the debris of memories with love for his children. So, is it still worth hating .. he who is ready to give his life?
